Life. Work. Wander.
I first encountered HiPP around five years ago. I was looking for formula milk for Kyle but there were so many in the market, I didn’t know which was the best option. I thought, organic would probably be the best type to use, it’s safer. My pediatrician told me that there is one organic brand […]
In my last article, I talked about how Kyle was different after Kurt was born. The first week Kyle showed changes in his behavior, I thought it was just a passing phase and it will be ok. After two weeks, I started to worry that Kyle won’t go back to normal. I wondered if I’ll […]
Recently, I realized that mommies might be struggling with helping their firstborns manage and adapt to the idea of having another baby in the house. This topic came up when I was talking to the mom of Kyle’s friend who also recently gave birth. She was sharing how her firstborn got a low-grade fever (nagkasinat) […]
Last month, I started the discussion on mother’s guilt or the things we do as mothers that give us guilty feelings. Here are another six things that cause mother’s guilt for me. Again, as moms, we all have our shortcomings and not all moms feel guilty about the same things. These are what I experience […]
Recently, I’ve gotten back to work and I’ve been busier than normal. Feelings of guilt started to surface and I found myself justifying my decision to work instead of being with Kurt. I realized that this is something all moms go through, that I can help other moms deal with these feelings. I want to […]
If you’ve been following my blog from early days, you know that WanderMom started as a random idea. I wanted to share my experiences as a first-time mom and also talk about my travels. It was more like a side project for me and I did it mostly for fun. So you can imagine my […]
I know some of you are wondering what we did in Australia. I’ll share some notes and tips from our trip to Sydney in this post – hopefully, these will help you prepare for your trip down under. Before I go into the details of our trip, I’d like to share one thing that made this […]
Australia has been on our travel bucket list for a few years but for some reason, our plans always fall through. Hindi talaga sya matuloy-tuloy. (It really never pushes through.) Finally, we made it to the land down under this year, even though there were a few hiccups that almost made us miss this trip. […]
Last year, I shared the principles behind Positive Discipline in a talk at Kyle’s school and in a blog post. I promised to share tips on how to apply the principles, so here they are 1. Create rules that are fair and applicable to everyone. When I make a rule, I make sure it gets […]
A few months ago, I gave a talk on Positive Discipline at Kyle’s school, MindChamps International School. When I was informed about the topic to be discussed, I did some research on it. I soon realized that I was already using this form of parenting with Kyle, without knowing what it was called. As parents, […]
